I, the Knight King, wield my sword for my myriad subjects.

Mo Binma Yeying quickly adjusted his breathing and continued to cast the second-tier wind magic "Swift Wind Run" to enhance his body, increasing his movement speed by three times.

"Ow!!!"

After its charged wind blade attack missed, the one-eyed wolf became even more ferocious, unleashing unprecedented energy.

The one-eyed wolf displayed the qualitative change in its magical power reserves after advancing to the third-tier magical beast, unleashing another wind blade attack.

This time, however, it did not gather its strength, but instead released several wind blades of similar size quickly and continuously.

At the same time, the one-eyed wolf changed its strategy, no longer targeting the dark-haired horse night shadow, but its path of travel.

The wind blades unleashed by third-tier magical beasts are far faster than arrows, instantly shattering the earth upon impact.

Immediately following, the collapse of the earth triggered a chain reaction of attacks, with countless fragments of rock flying towards the black-haired horse.

This time, Mo Binma Yeying could no longer avoid it.

After being hit by the falling rocks, Mo Binma Yeying's breathing rhythm was immediately disrupted, and his galloping figure began to lose its stable balance.

"My buddy, please hold on a little longer!"

Arthur, leaning over Nightshade's back, gritted his teeth. He too was being attacked by the falling rocks. He gently stroked Nightshade's mane to encourage it.

Arthur kept his eyes fixed on what was ahead.

As the leader of this whirlwind chase, only Arthur knew best that they had already left the western wasteland where the wind wolves and militia were fighting, and were about to reach their final destination.

soon.

When Arthur saw a small house in his line of sight, he realized that the whirlwind chase would come to an end there.

Arthur led the one-eyed wolf to a village near the western wasteland within the Blackrock Territory.

By this time, the village was deserted, and everyone had been driven to the town by Inspector Guf in accordance with his orders.

Next.

This will be the stage for Arthur's life-or-death battle with the one-eyed wolf.

At this moment, Mo Binma Yeting's breathing also began to rise rapidly.

The prolonged casting of second-tier wind magic was an extremely demanding task for this late-stage first-tier magical beast.

So, it eventually reached its limit.

"Ang~"

Sensing its strength waning, the black-haired horse Night Shadow let out a mournful cry to its master, Arthur.

Arthur, who spent his days and nights with the Nightshade, understood the message conveyed by its mournful cry.

That is—please abandon me now, my master, I can no longer carry you.

Arthur gently stroked Nightshade's mane once more, responding tenderly to the loyalty of this warhorse that had fought so hard for him:

"No! My partner, you've done very well. Now you can rest and leave the rest to me."

Having said that, Arthur's eyes hardened, he loosened the reins and leaped off the horse.

next moment.

"Pfft!"

After Arthur landed, Mo Binma Yeying, who was completely exhausted, collapsed.

But Arthur did not stop there. Instead, he put all his strength into running in the direction away from the dark-haired horse, Nightshade.

He lured the one-eyed wolf away, ensuring the safety of his exhausted warhorse:

"Come on, one-eyed wolf!"

The one-eyed wolf temporarily abandoned its hatred for Nightshade, changed direction, and chased after Arthur.

Without the help of Mo Binma Yeying, the one-eyed wolf quickly caught up with Arthur.

The giant, snow-white wolf, with its overwhelming size, pounced on Arthur.

But at this time.

Arthur stopped running and turned to face the one-eyed wolf.

He stopped in his tracks, raised the sword in his hand, but did not swing it.

Because he had already foreseen what would happen next.

—A thick ice cone, formed from the condensation of abundant ice elements, falls from the sky.

The thick ice spike struck the unsuspecting one-eyed wolf, interrupting its attack.

next moment.

"Cuck!"

With a rough, deep bird cry, the Frosty Raven King joined the battle!

Chapter 15 Battle with the Alpha Wolf

The one-eyed wolf was struck by a thick icicle and fell to the ground, rolling backward.

Arthur maintained his Combat Skill: Blood Boiling, and in a temporary Black Iron rank stance, he seized the opportunity of the One-Eyed Wolf's stun after being hit by the ice spike and launched an attack.

Arthur's life force surged and transformed into a waveguide of flame.

He approached the one-eyed wolf's immediate vicinity, his flame aura already wrapped around the sword in his hand.

Arthur gripped his sword with both hands, adopting a stabbing stance, and aimed at the one-eyed wolf's injured abdomen, which had been struck by an ice spike.

But the one-eyed wolf suddenly opened his eyes at that moment, having already broken free from the stiffness caused by being hit by the ice spike.

next moment.

The giant, snow-white wolf bared its teeth, and the wind elements around it began to gather, forming a powerful airflow barrier.

Arthur's movements became sluggish due to the airflow barrier in front of him.

Fortunately, his sword was already wrapped with flame waveguide.

As the sword, covered in flame waveguide, swung down, it cut through the airflow barrier constructed of wind element.

Upon seeing this, the one-eyed wolf immediately raised a sharp claw and struck the human knight whom it hated so much.

Arthur hadn't expected to be able to severely injure this third-tier magical beast with a single blow, so its counterattack wasn't unexpected.

He gripped the sword with both hands, straining to change the direction of his swing and meet the one-eyed wolf's claw strike.

Finally, the slash amplified by the Flame Wave collided with the claw strike of the one-eyed wolf.

As the swordsman, Arthur felt an immense force strike him.

As expected, he was knocked back several meters.

During the repulsion, Arthur quickly regained his balance and stood up again, thanks to his accumulated combat skills.

And then he looked at the one-eyed wolf.

It was also injured; its claw was slashed open by the Flame Wave, and blood kept flowing from it.

Thus, the first round of combat came to an end.

As Arthur adjusted his breathing, he realized that the offensive advantage brought by the Frost Raven King's ice spike attack was gone.

He couldn't help but feel regret and remorse for not inflicting more damage on the one-eyed wolf after seizing the initiative.

At this moment.

Arthur yearned for greater power more than ever before.

If he could break through to the Black Iron Rank before this battle, and with the power boost provided by the combat skill Bloodline Boiling, he might be able to inflict heavy damage on the One-Eyed Wolf.

However, reality doesn't allow for "what ifs".

Arthur quickly suppressed the negative emotions welling up inside him and discarded these useless assumptions and conjectures.

Now, he needs to focus all his attention on how to join forces with the Tier 3 Frost Raven King to defeat this Tier 3 One-Eyed Wolf.

Arthur thinks quickly:

First, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.

In a battle of equal strength, bird-type magical beasts generally have little advantage over wolf-type magical beasts in terms of strength, speed, and stamina.

Furthermore, our side has an ice-type monster, while the enemy has a wind-type monster, and neither side has any type advantage or disadvantage.

Therefore, based on comprehensive judgment, the combat power of the Tier 3 Frosty Raven King is probably slightly weaker than that of the Tier 3 One-Eyed Wolf, and it is unable to defeat the opponent in a one-on-one fight.

However, there is still a variable.

That was Arthur himself.

The one-eyed wolf is unlikely to threaten the Frost Raven King hovering in the air. So, if he can attract the one-eyed wolf's aggro and create an opportunity for the Frost Raven King to attack, he has a certain chance of winning!

With this in mind, Arthur looked up at the giant blue-feathered raven in the sky.

"Cuck!"

The Frosty Raven King had also developed a certain level of intelligence; it responded to Arthur's gaze with a very intelligent cry.

See this scene.

Arthur smiled, sensing that the other man seemed to know better than he did how to kill the one-eyed wolf in this battle.

Arthur almost forgot who the Frosty Raven King's master was.

He is Leon, not only the loyal butler who accompanied Arthur as he grew up, but also the strict mentor who guided Arthur in training the knights of the kingdom in this declining Blackrock Territory.

Thoughts turn.

Arthur raised the sword in his hand, adjusted his breathing, and activated the "Flame Lion Breathing Technique." The life force within his body surged continuously, transforming into a soaring wave of flame.

He was well aware of the power gap between himself and a third-tier magical beast.

So this time, Arthur's risky act, which almost drained his life force, unleashed an unprecedented wave of fire power that enveloped his entire body.

Flame waves permeated every part of his limbs and torso, giving him the illusion of boundless power.

Upon seeing this scene, the one-eyed wolf couldn't help but bare its teeth.

Because its combat instincts told it:

This guy's reckless burst of vitality was an attempt to join forces with the third-tier magical beasts in the sky to eliminate it in a very short time.

But the one-eyed wolf was not afraid of this Iron-rank human knight.

Because it knows that even in a short period of unleashed potential, it still has the advantage in terms of strength, not to mention the endurance in a prolonged battle.

So, next...

Even if it doesn't defeat the human knight, as long as it withstands the attack launched by the third-tier magical beast during the moment the human is exhausted, it can tear him in half the moment he is exhausted.

"Ow!"

When the thought of tearing him apart arose, the one-eyed wolf could no longer suppress the hatred in his heart for this human who carried the essence of his enemy.

Its white fur began to tremble, and then it opened its blood-red maw, gathering the wind elements in the air into its mouth and condensing them into a wind blade.

The one-eyed wolf struck first, launching a wind blade at Arthur, whose potential was being unleashed.

Look at Arthur.

He reacted quickly, dodging the one-eyed wolf's wind blade attack.

Arthur brushed past the wind blade, and then he began to run, actually approaching the one-eyed wolf.

This surprised the one-eyed wolf, which hadn't expected the other party to come and die willingly.

So the one-eyed wolf also moved its strong and powerful limbs and ran towards Arthur.

Soon, the man and the wolf began their second round of combat.

The one-eyed wolf kept lunging at Arthur with its claws.

Just as the one-eyed wolf had thought, even Arthur in his unleashed potential state was unable to confront it head-on.

Arthur could only barely hold on by using techniques to deflect the force.

At this moment, the Frost Raven King in the sky also joined the battle.
